6.0.04 July cum and special orders

["Blackwell, Barry" <bblackwe@xxxxxxx>]

I have recently joined the midrange idea exchange service, and it seems to
be a very good forum for exchanging experience.  I see there are several
people that have made the conversion to the 6.04 July cum, and I thought I
would ask a question or two.  I hope you don't mind.

We have just changed over to the July cum (double byte, and I realize most
of you are probably single byte) at the first of November, and I was
wondering if you have many problems with the processing of special orders.
For instance, financial orders used for price corrections (type 7, class 8)
or sales history corrections (type 8, class 8).  We are experiencing many
problems in this area with regards to inaccurate pricing, statuses setting
to all zeros thus rendering the order unusable and garbage, and incorrect
calculation of totals in the order screen and acknowledgement (the invoice
is okay).

I would appreciate any insight you can give me regarding these issues. And
also if you have methods for "cleaning" up these problems, this would be
greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks in advance...
